    C454 black prints light and also shadowy text

    Hi guys need some assistance please
    We've changed the drum, added new black developer , change the cleaning blade for the IBT
    but still no look
    please check images. I was browsing the forum and I see something about toner, that's the only thing I haven't changed. But we also cleaned the lens as well.

        Find the post by the genius blackcat4866:
        C452 Dumpster to the Rescu(r)e!?!

        The internal test might be useful too. Post scans not pictures if possible.

            Did you replace the black developer unit or just replace the developer powder?

                Thats why you have poor K prints.

                Fit a new dev unit & a new genuine toner.

                    A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
                    Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

                          If wanding the laser slit glasses does not help, you'll need a cyan and black drums. The test patterns help diagnosing immensely. =^..^=
                          If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                          1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                          2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                          3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                          4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                          5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                              Do you know what might cause this?

                              Two blackline running through the prints. Don't think we ever had this before. Be mindful has a new IBT blade etc
